How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
